1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Future of play to earn games on: March 16, 2023, 12:40:39 PM
The concept of P2E is definitely exciting, and many people believed it would be the popular way to introduce blockchain to the more people. I don't think traditional gaming companies will be abandoned in the near future, as current P2E projects still have some areas for improvement, particularly regarding the balance of earnings and rewards. However, once there's a successful and sustainable P2E project, I can see a future where these companies might need to adapt and embrace P2E concepts.

P2Es are actually quite addicting! I think most decline to play it because they are mostly boring and as much as it’s a play to earn project it would take quite the determination and dedication to continue playing cause the amount of hours play to the earning ain’t really good. I guess you basically need to be early or else the risk-reward will not be that worth it.
2  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do people stay poor? on: March 16, 2023, 12:00:43 PM
Not everyone who was born poor has the resources to get rich. Some our born with good looks, some gets lucky and some just doesn't really have anything. It  is really easier to say that they should just get up work to get rich because we are not in their shoes but if you dig deeper into reality, they are just trying to survive. Getting rich requires taking risks and risks are expensive.

The poor remains poor because they want to get rich or try to live the life of the rich. Thus spending more than what they need.
Money management is the key factor for one getting rich or stuck being poor. Planing and acting on it could potentially boost the rate for one becoming successful in life.
If you look at the world's richest person, they were poor too. But they had the ambition to overcome their lifestyle and broke the system to reach at this point. And no, no one wishes to stay poor. It's just the situation and their personal choices that holds them back.

Money management is impossible when there is nothing to manage. Some just manage to get through the day, and spend their money only for food and bills. There's nothing even left for savings or insurance. Living a happy life becomes the best option for most people, and happiness is relative.
3  Economy / Economics / Re: With the present economic outlook, do you think that this is good advise? on: March 16, 2023, 11:50:40 AM
First of all, having a mentor is a good decision. I hope to find one that I can always ask for advise. Anyway, I agree. Acquiring a skill is a much better investment than immediately jumping into business. Skills will help you in the long run, and no matter how small your forecasted business may be, if you have the right skills and learnings, it'll be easier for you to get your goal. It is like weighing where would you risk your time, is it for the long run or for the vague immediate return. It will be a longer time for you to gain skills but it is not a guarantee either that you'll get a good return when you enter right away into business. There will always be a risk so choose the one that will help you in the long run and the will give you an edge.
4  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it true that 80% of the world's wealth in the hands of 20%? on: March 16, 2023, 11:43:33 AM
After a very long time, this is the first time I encountered again the Pareto rule. The best thing that the government can do is to do their job and provide jobs. They should be held accountable for every decision they make for the country. Because when jobs and equal opportunities are provided to the people, things start to work out.
5  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you survived during covid19 ? on: March 16, 2023, 11:16:06 AM
It is really hard to survive during the time of pandemic specially to those who are minimum wage earner, or to those who stop thier work because of pandemic, but there is nothing we can do we need to follow the WHO to be able to survive and to avoid our self from covid 19. It is hard but because of following the health expert we are still alive and we can continue life with no fair this time.
Now I see articles appearing that perhaps we are in for a period of great depression, which will be even worse than it was in 1929, I don’t want to believe that this is possible in our time, but if this happens, then the pandemic will seem to us something completely harmless.

The pandemic was a difficult period, but it also showed that those who could work remotely had an advantage, it became an advantage in some way. Probably everyone was able to feel the consequences of this disease, it was not easy, but we went through it.



Covid 19 is a trauma and we had no choice but to survive it. I remembered, I was one of the privileged who were able to still eat good meals everyday, and had internet connection at home that was why I was able to look for passive income online. I also distracted myself by watching series and reading books. Also, when the lockdown in our place was not that strict, I visited my friends.  Also, I discovered a lot of things that I can do without going out.

6  Economy / Economics / Re: Lending money or damaging family bond ? on: March 16, 2023, 10:47:43 AM
This happened to me a lot of times. Relatives used to borrow money from me and out of mercy I lend them my hard-earned money but they didn't pay me and they are even ignoring my texts and chats. From my experiences, I learned to say no and cut ties with abusive relatives. You did the right thing because that's a huge amount of money especially if that relative of yours isn't trustworthy. When it comes to money, we can see the true colors of the people around us. You shouldn't be the one to feel awkward because you just saved yourself from stress.
That happens with almost everyone since all of us have that kind of relatives who borrow money by becoming innocent at first and then don't even answer your calls and messages. The only way to avoid such people is to simply say no at first by making some excuse because if you don't make an excuse, they can become very toxic later on.

Never lend money to people who you know would never return your money, at no cost you should compromise your own life and self-esteem for someone else no matter how hard they try and how many times they ask you innocently.

I always lend money to my relatives the first time. I also always give the benefit of the doubt to the person who borrows money from me, especially if it is someone that I am close to. But when the time comes that I ask for the money to be paid back or when the time is due and that person did not pay me, I acknowledge the fact that that person will never pay me ever. And I will never lend that person money again, ever. At least then, I have the reason not to lend that person money. It is not always about the amount, regardless how much is borrowed from me, I consider the trust that I give to that person and how the broke it.
7  Economy / Economics / Re: War: who benefits and how! on: March 16, 2023, 10:35:27 AM
War of course is a disaster that can occur in the long run, countries that are at war certainly need a long time to recover, as happened in the Balkan countries where there was a war about 30 years ago but the trauma is still felt today, but war also brings benefits to other countries that sell any product in a warring country, and usually the supplying country must be prepared to take risks if the country is in debt and pays in the long term.

It's devastating that there is always one who will suffer more and neighboring countries benefits. There is nothing to be happy with war aside from getting out from it. Tho peace and money can possible be gained from war, children and the innocent people always suffer the most while those in the position who decided to make the war happen are sitting comfortably. Good leadership will prevent this kind of crisis, I believe.
8  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Some of the most common mistakes we make as beginners, and how to avoid them. on: March 16, 2023, 10:06:41 AM
2. Plagiarism: As we all know, plagiarism is unacceptable anywhere, including bitcointalk.org.
It is untrue.

In third-world nations, plagiarism is not a serious matter even in university, college, research articles or business companies.
In forum globally, Bitcoin talk forum is a most serious forum about plagiarism but unfortunately plagiarism cases nowadays tend to be handled considerably softer than the past especially in 2018 or 2019.

It was introduced circa 2016 and second chance started to be initiated since 2018.

explanation in 2018 and became more often applied in 2019. In that year, theymos started to give global moderators' right to handle plagiarism cases and award second chance for deserved members.


But I think that doesn't mean that plagiarism is not unacceptable. Somehow your comment created an impression on me that it is okay to do plagiarism since chances can be given. Thanks for the links you've inserted by the way, I am a newbie and I didn't know there were such things. 


One mistake that newbies make is, failing to search the forum to see if the thread they want to begin is already existing. Additionally, some newbies don't read responses on a thread before making up theirs, which may lead to similar ideas or offkey ideas co-existing in a thread. The things you listed on this thread, OP, are all good, but has been stressed alot in the forum; plagiarism, quality content, etc. Yet newbies fall prey to such rules and get panalized.

Newbies also fail to scrutinize the forum before participating in this forum. Notwithstanding that they're rules controlling this forum, which newbies are advised to read. Yet things like quarrels, misunderstanding, fights and indept arguments happen in the forum too, which newbies are expected not to be a part of such disputes with fellow members. So, if a newbie scouts the forum and understand it fully well, they won't have issue with plagiarism and quality contents, i.e seeing for themselves how members are panalized for such mistakes, how members fight against a particular member who drops offkey responses on a thread and how members beg DT members to please remove the negative trust issued to them.

Such experience would not only erect a newbies behavior in the forum, it'll make him to be careful with their contents while on the forum, thereby previewing before they publish.

I think even in day to day life, these things apply. And simply reading the rules first really help newbies like me. Respect, honesty and being authentic is something that I'll still do in this forum. I'll include good research as well.
9  Economy / Economics / Re: How to increase capital investment on: March 14, 2023, 08:30:57 AM
If we believe that the business we are running has good prospects then it is time to recruit some people according to their expertise, for example, finance is focused on the flow of money and of course can increase company capital, many banks are ready to provide credit as long as we can present the business we manage, if we don't dare to borrow capital then we will seem to be walking in place and it will be difficult to develop.

I noticed this mostly in those company that is really good at running meaning they generate revenues that is why they need to hire directors to run their business and then that is the time they will again venture to new business which they will build. Meaning they really want to increase their wealth and find another method to earn more money which again those earnings can increase the capital of their new business. Also most of the businessmen I've known is that they really start their business by borrowing small money to their parents or friends,


Businessmen usually do capital investment when they want to acquire assets that they will be using for their long term goals. And I think, one more thing that contributes to their success is their affiliations. So, as early as possible I think it is important to build connections and be pro active to the people around you so you'll be able to learn from them.
10  Economy / Economics / Re: Is taking a loan/debt addicted ? on: March 14, 2023, 08:15:15 AM
How would you deal with the problem ? I am all ears.

  • Avoid the behavior of taking debt (again) to cover (other) debt as much as possible.
  • Increase income, involve unemployed families.
  • Rearrange lifestyle, spending (even ready to live in extreme conditions).
  • Don't delay paying installments when it's time.

Also, only take a loan when you have the capacity to pay it back. Especially for credit or installment loans, only borrow money when you have the whole amount with you and the only reason that you loaned is because you want to maximize the time value of your money. It is also important to pay on time so you'll a good credit score or impression. Discipline is highly important so  we can enjoy the money we have and the trust we built.
11  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can you 'Will' your bitcoin to your children? on: March 13, 2023, 02:05:29 PM
Yes, you can. Well with or without a will, all your estate will be be divided to your heirs upon death, and estates are taxed. When it comes to taxation of cryptocurrencies, it is very complex in every country and there is no universal rule yet for its accounting. So unless you want your children to suffer the rough road of estates along with the emotional pain of you passing away, you should rather find an attorney who will execute your will on your behalf and who will find out how bitcoin is accounted for in your country because that is where the tax rate will be based. Either way, your heirs will still pay estate taxes because if not, transferring of your properties to them will not happen. But if you want your death to be a little bit easier and peaceful, liquifying your assets before is also an option.
12  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: investment advice? on: March 13, 2023, 01:34:20 PM
Take a break from investing for now because it’s most likely you would make the wrong choice, I don’t know how you learnt about Binance or trust wallet, I would guess because they are popular and you probably think it’s your best option.

I won’t be saving my bitcoin on Binance exchange nor any other exchanges because you won’t be in total control of your Bitcoin, what’s the essence of being in cryptocurrency when you don’t have total control.

Yeah. You have a point. I often ask myself why I feel like I'm a late bloomer when it comes to cryptocurrencies and I just realized it now that years ago, I didn't have enough knowledge where I can have full control over my assets. I think taking your time to learn and to invest to yourself is what's more important.
13  Economy / Economics / Re: Planning avoids unnecessary expenses on: March 13, 2023, 01:22:17 PM
I'm sure you enjoyed having that much during those times. And that's privilege of being young, to be able to make mistakes and learn from it. Sad part is, I think you took too much for a learning. Kidding aside, yeah, planning makes things more predictable and makes you feel more powerful to live the life according to how you want. Also, it's great to have something to look forward that makes life worth living. Personally, I have very few big plans for myself which includes what I want and what I need, and the rest is just about planning one day at a time. I believe preparing for emergencies is as important as enjoying life.

But yeah, planning comes first first, especially if you can't afford to enjoy.
14  Economy / Economics / Re: When your passive income equals or slightly above your salary, what would you do on: March 12, 2023, 12:03:07 PM
Ask yourself first, "Why did I enter in this job?" If the reason is still applicable, stay. If not, leave. Also look forward, 5 years from now, would you regret leaving that job of yours? It won't be an easy decision but It'll be worth it if you make the best out of it. You  don't have to regret whatever decision it may be, you just have to stand for it. If I was you, I'll take a rest, make a decision, and ignore everyone else.
15  Economy / Economics / Re: Money and education on: March 12, 2023, 11:54:13 AM
Money it is, especially for those who can't afford education. Even for those who can, they still wait to graduate, have their own job, and spend their own money to pursue what they really want. What I'm saying is that, we have to set our priorities and bear the consequences of it. In the end, it'll only be ourselves who'll save us from our own misery. You may choose money first or education first, but either way, you have to learn how to use both wisely.
16  Economy / Economics / Re: What is your biggest obstacle to achieving financial freedom ? on: March 12, 2023, 11:39:39 AM
Not having my own space is the biggest obstacle for me because I think being financially independent is where financial freedom starts. I heard a story once that the younger you start being independent, the better. But most cannot afford that because leaving and not providing for the relatives is sometimes not an option. But having a plan will help. Once I got my on space and have control over my on finances, I'll make it easier to get me there towards financial freedom. Anyway, us who endure the journey will reap the reward out there.
17  Economy / Economics / Re: Try to save money while you still can, will you ? on: March 11, 2023, 12:15:15 PM
I think there are so many things we have no control over, such as inflation and the way the government will react to it, but we do have control over how hard we work, how much time we spend working on our business, how much risk we are willing to take, and who we listen to. Concentrate on what you can control rather than what you cannot. Easier said than done but all we have to do is to start. Do not just save money. If you can, invest it.
18  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can you tell me which one you will choose and why? on: March 11, 2023, 11:23:55 AM
I trust hardware wallet more than my bank account and Binance exchange, but if you are ask to choose between banks and Binance exchange which one do you trust the most? I throw this question to crypto friends around me and they choose Binance exchange.

I wonder why though,  because I feel like banks should be more trusted, my bank for example, has been running for over 20 years and nothing bad happened except, for high charge fees, but my fiat is always in safe hands,  I don't know, maybe I missed something? So I plan to ask on here,  which one would you trust the most and why?

Depends on what you trust them to, both can be useful because they perfectly work alongside each other. I trust both with my transactions. It's true to better not to put all your eggs in one basket.
19  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Starting now. on: March 11, 2023, 10:54:31 AM
I had a different thread on how to start on Bitcoin and had so many useful and helpful knowledge given to me at that thread. I just wanna say thanks to all those who replied to my post. And also, yes, I will be starting to do trading on cryptocurrencies. With that being said, I also want to take this opportunity to ask, what would be the best cryptowallet to use at this time? 

If you are the type of person who always leaves and goes everywhere, the wallet I can advise you to use is Trustwallet, for me it is proven and tested and many people use it.

     But if you're always at home, I think it's better to use the electrum wallet on your desktop or laptop. Or as most people say, Hardware wallet is recommendable to use if you have something to buy that can be ordered and bought on amazon and other online shops that are legit of course.


If you’re are looking into diversity,  that is holding a lot of coins on different network then Trustwallet is okay. Tho most non custodial wallet are okay if you don’t give out your wallet phrase but if you want a very secure wallet, I agree that the hardware wallet is the best, like ledger.
